Listen to these exhaust clips by Flowmaster and tell me the 1 you think sounds the best, loudest, meanest, and best while driving away. I'm still a kid and love the sound. Especially coming from my car!!

The 80 series is the one where it kinda fits the stock location. It was designed just for these cars.

If you want all those things listed above you should go with the super 44.

Are you sure it fits? When I click on the Super 44, it redirects me to the Super 40. Anyone know if the Super 40 Fits our cars?

60 Series all the way!!!!!

No, really, I like the sound of the 40's, always have. Now the 44, just as good. I actually couldent tell much of a difference between them. I had a 80 series on my car before I went to duals. To put it simply, I would not change back. The one that surprised me was the 70 Series II. Was very deep, nice rumble. Think I even heard a little wheel spin in the background.

Re: Which exhaust sounds better? Listen!

80 Series sounds the best by far IMO. You co the cheap way and put some holes in you muffler, mine sounds good with a rusty muffler

Re: Which exhaust sounds better? Listen!

40s 1st choice, 44s a CLOSE 2nd. I listened to both, back to back, but finally decided on the 40s...the Original 40s. I've always loved the originals!

Not for sure if this will work, but if you really want to get some attention go with a 4th gen Loudmouth exhaust.

http://home.insightbb.com/~dhjr/Loudmouth.MPG

The video is my RS with the factory L03 305, only mods are an open air filter and no converter.

If interested I can post another video of after the engine swap and that same exhaust.

The Loudmouth was made by SLP and installed as an option on the SS and Firehawks. I believe you can but the Loudmouth and Loudmouth 2 from Jeg's still. Nice thing about this exhaust is it is made out of Stainless Steel.

Re: Which exhaust sounds better? Listen!

No dude thats ok I've got a custom idea that I think will be really loud and mean. Here it is. From the headers I'll have separate pipes going on each side of the drive shaft, instead if the H connector on the passanger side. It will lead all the way from the headers to dual cat and catback. Then from the cat and catback to 2 Flowmaster Super 44 mufflers.

How does that sound. I thought of it by myself. So I say it's my copyrighted idea...lol
